I tried FF 4.? and don't like it at all. I'm sticking with 3.6. The new interface suks and I'm perfectly fine with the features of Version 3. I have my own security software and practices and the new functions in 4.0 are unnecessary for my use.

You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
